What the petition asks
Students in HE believe that the standard of lecture delivery and overall experience at university has been heavily impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Students are experiencing a decline in the quality of lectures due to online delivery, which frequently encounter technical difficulties due to inadequate resources. In addition, university campuses are more or less closed to day students travelling in, meaning that we are essentially paying £9,250 to stay at home and receive impaired information.
The decreased quality of the university experience as a whole should be compensated by some financial relief from the Government.
